Answer to Question 1

ANS:
4-2-1-0-3-1
GTPALM is a systematic, quick way to identify not only the number of pregnancies a woman has had, but also the outcomes of each one. It stands for G (gravida), T (number of term pregnancies), P (number of preterm deliveries), A (number of abortions), L (number of live births), and M (number of multiple births).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, D, E
Amenorrhea, fatigue, and breast tenderness are presumptive signs of pregnancy. Goodell's sign and uterine enlargement are probable signs, and auscultation of fetal heart sounds is a positive sign of pregnancy.
